faust-build

faust-build is a skill for Claude Code from gertsylvest/meta-team. It costs 55 tokens per session (1,290 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A build check for Faust, a language for describing digital audio processing, that turns a DSP source file into C code and checks its expected interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after editing a Faust file to check controls, generated function names, input and output counts, structure names, and C type errors.
Why use it?
It combines parameter-smoothing checks, compilation, and optional C compilation to catch audio-code problems after a DSP change.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

faust-build scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (build.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Faust Build

Compile a Faust DSP source file to C and verify the result is structurally correct. Combines three steps that were performed manually on every DSP change: parameter audit, compilation, and API surface verification. Optionally adds a clang compile step to catch type errors early.

Requirements

  • Faust compiler on PATH (or specify binary with --faust). Tested against Faust 2.85.x.
    • Known issue: -ftz 2 generates broken C in Faust 2.85.5. This script defaults to -ftz 0 (see --ftz option).
  • clang (optional, only needed for --clang step)
  • Faust architecture headers (optional, only needed for --clang): the directory containing faust/gui/CInterface.h. Pass via --faust-arch.

Instructions

Arguments are in $ARGUMENTS. Pass them directly to the build script:

bash "$(dirname "$0")/build.sh" $ARGUMENTS

Steps performed

Step What it does
0 — Param audit Scans the .dsp source for hslider/vslider/nentry parameters not followed by si.smoo or si.smooth on the same line. Flags as warnings (heuristic; does not catch multi-line smoothing).
1 — Faust compile Runs faust -lang c -cn <ClassName> -single -ftz <N> <include paths> -o <output.c> <input.dsp>. Aborts on compiler failure.
2 — API surface check Greps the generated C for all 14 expected public function names (suffix = class name). Checks that FAUSTCLASS macro matches. Optionally verifies getNumInputs and getNumOutputs return values.
3 — Clang compile (optional) Runs clang -std=c11 -O2 -Wall -Wextra -include faust/gui/CInterface.h -Wno-unused-parameter -c <output.c>. The force-include is required because Faust-generated C references UIGlue, MetaGlue, and Soundfile without including their definitions.

Options

Option Default Description
--cn NAME mydsp Faust class name (-cn flag). All generated function names are suffixed with this.
-I PATH Include path for Faust library resolution (repeatable). Typically needs dsp/modules and the faustlibraries path.
--faust BIN faust Faust compiler binary path.
--faust-arch DIR Directory containing faust/gui/CInterface.h. Required for --clang.
--ftz N 0 Faust denormal flushing mode. Use 0 for Faust 2.85.x (the default); -ftz 2 is broken in that version.
--clang off Run clang -c -Wall on the generated C as a final verification step.
--inputs N Expected getNumInputs return value. Fails if the generated code disagrees.
--outputs N Expected getNumOutputs return value. Fails if the generated code disagrees.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

faust-build is a skill published in the GitHub repository gertsylvest/meta-team (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 1,290 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
